Blackwell Companions to British History

Published in association with the Historical Association, this series provides sophisticated and authoritative overviews of the scholarship that has shaped our current understanding of British history. Each volume comprises up to 40 concise essays written by individual scholars within their area of specialization. The aim of each contribution is to synthesize the current state of scholarship from a variety of historical perspectives and to provide a statement on where the field is heading. The essays are written in a clear, provocative, and lively manner, designed for an international audience of scholars and advanced students.

The Blackwell Companions to British History series is a cornerstone of Wiley-Blackwell’s overarching Companions to History series, covering European, American, and World History.
